Another Mysterious Monolith, This Time Golden One, Appears in Colombia
Several mysterious metal structures have sprung up in different parts of the world in recent weeks, sparking speculation on social media about their origin.
Bulgaria has been announced as one of the 27 countries whose weapons were found in Colombian FARC rebel encampments.
According to a report in the Sunday edition of the Colombian daily El Tiempo, the list includes arms and explosives from Bulgaria, China, Korea, Romania, Russia, Sweden, Central Europe, North Korea, US, Brazil, Ecuador, Venezuela among others.
The newspaper claims that during 2009 the Colombian government through Interpol has sent 209 requests to 27 different countries on the origin of weapons and explosives found or captured in FARC encampments, South Atlantic News Agency Merco Press reported.
"We've received replies from 177 requests, but there are others which we know before hand that they will not reply", said one of the Colombian officials in charge of the investigation.
As to how the weapons make their way to the FARC groups, the report points out to the border areas with Brazil, Panama and Venezuela, as well as "the so called Triple Frontier (Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil) where light planes arrive with Colombian drugs and return with weapons and ammunition."
The report was published when Colombia and Venezuela are involved in a new controversy regarding claims that some portable rocket propellers allegedly purchased by Venezuela from Sweden ended up in the hands of the FARC groups, mercopress.com concluded.
